She was armed with a car. She hurt a police man pretty seriously. please insert my usual rant about the lack of mental health care that I normally reserve for shootings.

Ole and Sven are quietly sitting in a boat fishing, chewing and drinking beer when suddenly Sven says, 'I think I'm gonna divorce my wife - she ain't spoke to me in over 2 months.' Ole sips his beer and says, 'Better think it over...women like that are hard to find.'

NOt so sure this is about lack of mental healthcare. She was being treated. Maybe not taking her meds? She had meds. The father of the child went to police etc to get custody based on her erratic behavior. He was denied. Maybe it is more about containing the seriously mentally ill.

Who shut down the State run mental hospitals.....that used to be where people ended up, if they were at risk to themselves or others. They were 'snake pits' but at that point it is necessary to protect the public and do what we can with sicko mental cases.
